Felt-Presence and Psychosis-Risk in the General Population
Abstract. Objective: Felt presence (FP) is the experience that another entity is present in one’s proximal environment, despite no sensory evidence. Occurrence of FP is linked to psychosis-risk, but q...

Our new MEG study is out! Here, we show alterations in both auditory evoked responses and alpha-band connectivity during a passive spatial auditory task in ASD. We also found that functional connectivity is associated with ASD and sensory symptomatology.

The brain attenuates self-touch, but how does this unfold at the neural level before the touch? We used MEG to find out 🧠 👉👈
Motor prediction reduces beta-band power and enhances cerebellar-somatosensory connectivity before self-touch to enable its attenuation
